If a waiter thinks their guest can digest such a blurt of information, they don’t know how humans work. This isn’t ADHD, this is being in a new environment with lots of stuff already there to process. And then you want me to listen to your TED talk about your diner? Just gimme the fucking menu, I can read!

Like so many other ADHD symptoms, it’s one of those things that’s a pain for some neurotypicals but much worse for people with ADHD.
Rule 1, my friend.
“We all pee too, but if we’re doing it 60 times a day, that’s a problem”
The specials aren’t on the menu. I actually get something out of the little talk.
The person who downvoted you for listening to someone else talk is a hilarious reminder of what kinds of mindsets are out there
The specials aren’t on the menu.
They should be!
A lot of places here write the non-permanent specials on a blackboard, and the waiter puts that blackboard next to the customer’s table and gives them some time to digest it after he’s done his little talk.
PRO tip: Just try and get the general gist of each dish. Ask them to tell you more about the ones that sound most interesting. If they’ve memorized a full spiel for it, chances are they’d be happy to elaborate.
You can also say “I’m in the mood for something x” (light, savoury, filling, sweet; etc… Just describe what you’re hankering for). Usually they’ll be happy to suggest a good fit.
Your waiter wants you to have a good experience, so take advantage of that!
If I fail you’ll give me free stuff? What’s my incentive again?
